Gotta love religious housewives losing their shit. Always priceless.

AW no Christmas presents!

Is she trying to bribe him?

Classy. +1 for the Youtube comments. Oodles of stupid on both sides!

"You're not getting anything for Christmas, okay?" "Okay!" "No IT'S NOT OKAY!!!!"

Fake? Great either way.

I love how taken aback she is when her "NO PRESENTS!" threat fails to work.

YOU CAN'T BE AN ATHEIST, YOU PROMISED THE BISHOP

Because acting like a crazed moron at atheists is effective and convincing rhetoric.

Oh the hellfire and brimstone this kid is gonna get when his mom sees this on youtube...

This argument really works a lot better than the ontological one, I promise.

"You'd better fucking believe in God!"

Somewhere the Bishop is watching this and crying into his hands. "But he PROMISED!"

She used going to church as a threat, yet somehow this kid wound up an athiest!

I love how the "Christian" mother cusses like a sailor.

This is the exact argument all atheists have with their parents.

Come on, guys. Pass the hat for this kid's Winter Solstice Gift Fund.

That's a pretty awesome kid, just for his devotion.

Congratulations kid you figured it out. The reward is depression, suspicion of the institution of marriage, and the distrust of 80% of your fellow human beings!

I never know what to make of these sorts of videos, where a buffoonish authority figure tries to force their will on a kid who for all the world appears to me to be using higher principals as an excuse to be an a**hole, so considering the positive responses above and the general success of Adam Sandler I'm rounding my rating down from a three to a one.

Mom? Dad? I just wanted to mention how much I love you guys.

I'm joining up with the "Did that mother actually try to threaten her kid into saying he believes in the Jesusgod with a giftless Xmas!?" camp.

Minus 1 star for being a little bit on the short side.

It has been my observation that fundy protestants seem to react to atheists (et al) with fire and brimstone, the typical JESUS DIED for YOU speech, and quoting obscure passages from the bible to prove that the end times are nigh. Catholics, on the other hand, will just threaten to beat you up.

As a side note, I also suspect that junior's atheism may not be due to his restless pondering of weighty issues, but rather a desire to piss off mom and dad. FUCK YOU, HITLER, YOU CANT TELL ME WHAT TO BELIEVE

I wish they kept filming

rock on kid

Michael is a fucking American hero, worthy of standing along side Hulk Hogan, Santa, and Lt. Surge.

-1 star for stopping just when it was getting good.

I was raised Catholic, and judging by his actions, I'm fairly certain he was just sick of having to go to church. I know I stopped when I got out of the house!
